Shaughna Phillips reveals unborn baby's gender in first video with jailbird boyfriend
Love Island's Shaughna Phillips has revealed the gender of her unborn baby in a new video with boyfriend, Billy Webb.
Shaughna, 31, who shares daughter, Lucia, two, with Webb, revealed the couple were expecting again in June after her boyfriend was allowed a brief home visit while serving a nine-year sentence for Class A drug offences.
The Love Island star never reveals her partner's identity on Instagram and made sure to block out his face as she shared her latest video, filmed in her back garden. Snuggled together with little Lucia alongside them, the couple revealed they were having another girl as their daughter excitedly opened a box to reveal a pink cuddly bunny and a fluffy pink pram suit.
Responding to the adorable clip, Shaughna's famous pals sent their well wishes. Former TOWIE star, Billie Shepherd replied: "Congratulations darling" as Gogglebox's Ellie Warner also congratulated the reality star.
Speaking to the Mirror about trying for her second child, Shaughna admitted she planned the pregnancy, even tracking her ovulation to boost her chances of conceiving.
However, she says she was stunned that her baby dream came true so quickly. 'It was the first time that my ovulation window coincided with Billy being home,' the mum-of-one told us.
'I was like, 'You know what? Why not? Let's just see'. And literally, the next day, I said to Billy, 'I think I'm pregnant.''
Shaughna's gut feeling was confirmed ten days later, when multiple pregnancy tests showed up positive. 'I found out very, very early on,' she exclusively told us. 'I was doing maybe five tests a day. I'm not even exaggerating.'
Shaughna said Billy, who was jailed in 2023, is currently allowed out on home visits for 'a few days' each month. And while she has so far been forced to raise her daughter as a single parent, the star says her partner is due for early release and should be reunited with his family in time for their new arrival.
'I know the date that he's due to be home, but I'm not saying it just because anything could happen,' she says carefully. 'But hopefully he will be fully home before my baby is due.'
After missing out on being a hands-on dad first time around, Shaughna is looking forward to having Billy there when the new baby arrives.
'He definitely wanted another one. He didn't get that newborn experience [with Lucia] and I think that's what he wanted,' she shared, joking that she wants Billy to 'experience the newborn stage and everything it has to offer, because he does not know what is coming his way.'

Strictly Come Dancing star Wynne Evans splits from fiancée weeks after proposing
The opera singer hinted that his relationship with business owner Liz Brookes was "not healthy" Strictly Come Dancing's Wynne Evans has revealed he's parted ways with his fiancée Liz Brookes, just weeks after popping the question during a romantic Moroccan getaway. The Welsh opera singer hinted at an "unhealthy" relationship in a Facebook Live broadcast on Saturday, August 2, and confessed he's already dipping his toes back into the dating pool. Rumours of the couple's split started circulating last month when eagle-eyed fans spotted that Wynne had removed his engagement announcement from Instagram and stopped following Liz on social media. It now seems their romance has come to a definitive end. Insiders confided to the Daily Mail that the split was triggered by Wynne's hectic schedule since he decided to launch his own restaurant in his hometown of Carmarthen, whilst also kicking off his own radio show, set to be based in the eatery, reports the Mirror. The source disclosed: "Wynne and Liz called off their engagement a few weeks ago. The strain of his new business ventures led to a major disagreement. "Initially, there was hope they would reconcile once the bad feelings subsided, as they had broken up before and managed to mend things. "But with Wynne actively seeking new dates and publicly labelling the relationship as 'not healthy', it's safe to say they've permanently split this time." The Mirror has reached out to Wynne Evans' representatives for a statement. Liz, who operates a thriving events business in Wales, initially encountered Wynne in 2024 when he entertained guests at one of her company's corporate gatherings. She became a familiar face in the audience throughout his Strictly journey, frequently supporting him from the sidelines and posting encouraging messages across social media platforms. Wynne had previously credited Liz with motivating his fitness regime ahead of his BBC appearance, telling a podcast presenter: "I go out running with my girlfriend and stuff and I feel much better for it". Wynne popped the question to Liz in June, documenting the special moment on Instagram with a collection of photographs, including a detailed shot of her engagement ring. He wrote alongside the post: "Big news... I got engaged! This weekend in Morocco, somewhere between the couscous, the camels, and me limping around the souks like a man with no spatial awareness, I proposed to Liz - and she said yes! (No take-backs, I've checked.)". "She's clever, she's kind, she's got excellent taste in men. Absolutely no idea how I pulled that off, but here we are! Feeling very lucky, very happy, and just a tiny bit smug." The pair's split arrives during a challenging year for the Go Compare star, who was axed by the BBC earlier this year following a contentious "spit roast" remark during the Strictly live tour.

While Wynne subsequently clarified the phrase related to fellow contestant Jamie Borthwick rather than presenter Janette Manrara as initially reported, he maintained he was compelled to issue an apology and has since severed ties with BBC Radio Wales. He has subsequently launched his own internet radio programme and established a wine bar and eatery called Welsh House by Wynne, which he pledged would feature MasterChef -style dishes on the menu as a tribute to his stint on the cookery programme.

Coronation Street star announces abrupt exit as character 'killed off' without warning
One Coronation Street star confirmed they had left the ITV soap with their final scenes airing on Friday, with fans convinced their character was killed off in a twist A Coronation Street star has confirmed their exit from the ITV soap and it's already aired. In a brutal twist their character may have been killed off, after the actor's farewell post left fans convinced they were "brown bread". Logan Radcliffe was back on the ITV soap this week, visited in prison by Carla Connor. She was desperate for answers on what happened to her partner Lisa Swain's late wife Becky Swain. It comes as Lisa was struggling to move forward, not knowing for sure if Becky was in trouble before her death and why she was killed, accident or not, and Carla wanted to help. She visited Logan who demanded £10,000 for information he may have on Becky. He then let slip a name, Tia Wardley, while no context was given. Whoever she is, it was enough to land Logan in trouble with a cellmate over a "mutual friend" he'd upset. He was told he had said too much, and with that his cell door was closed with it clear he was in danger. As the episode came to an end, actor Harry Lowbridge, who pays Logan, took to Instagram to announce his exit from the show. Confirming his final scenes had now aired, the ones with the random cellmate, he confirmed post-attack he would not be seen again. With that, fans were convinced Logan was now dead. They beloeved whoever Tia was, fake or not, he'd said too much and a mystery person made the cellmate punish him. Fans believe it will emerge that Logan is dead, killed in his cell, with the actor confirming no more scenes were planned. He shared on Instagram: "Farewell Logan. It's been a blast x." Taking to social media after the post and the scenes, fans shared their theories that the soap had just killed off a character without warning. One viewer said: "So Logan is brown bread then?" Another fan agreed: "RIP Logan," as a third viewer said; "So Logan gets killed off in prison then!" A further comment read; "Harry posting a goodbye? Has Logan been killed in prison?" The comments kept on coming with one fan writing: "Okay so when Logan is killed in prison then what?!" Whether Logan is dead or alive is yet to be revealed despite suspicions, with fans wondering if he will return at some point - and if we will find out who it was that orchestrated the attack. Then there's the fact that Tia could or could not be linked to the plot. Why are people so desperate to keep the truth hidden too? All will have to be revealed at some point.

Kelly Brook, 45, branded 'a natural beauty' as she shows off curves in white bikini
Former Page Three girl Kelly Brook has shared a series of photos from her holiday in Italy, after the 45-year-old retired from the modelling industry, saying she had enough of the 'male gaze' Former glamour model Kelly Brook has shown off her curves in white bikini photos as fans have praised her "natural beauty". The 45-year-old looked incredible as she sunned herself on holiday in Italy with her husband, model Jeremy Parisi. Sharing the series of snaps on Instagram, the Heart Radio host beamed as she posed against a railing, captioning her post: "Italian Summers !!! Made the Hubby take some pictures of me." Fans flooded the comments with praise for the retired model, who was hailed a "role model" for sharing the natural photos. One of her followers commented: "Thank you for showing girls what a normal (gorgeous) woman looks like. They're constantly looking at 'love island' girls!" It comes after Cat Deeley found moving back to the UK 'really hard' before split from Patrick Kielty. Another of Kelly's followers shared: "You are absolutely stunning and so natural It's also very refreshing Kelly." A third penned: "Been an absolute natural beauty from the beginning! never change! X" Others echoed their sentiments, writing: "How bloody refreshing," while another added: "This should be the role model for young girls out there. You are absolutely stunning." A sixth fan gushed: "Does this woman never age? From many years ago to now I have admired her. Not only is she a natural beauty and all woman she has the most wonderful sense of humour absolutely hilarious on times on the radio. Her husband struck gold when he married her. Stunning!!!" Kelly, who appeared on Celebrity Race Across the World with her husband Jeremy, told the Sun previously that she had enough of modelling. She told the paper: "It's very hard having been a bikini model all through my 20s and then you hit 30 and they still want me to do calendars. "I'm just not there for the male gaze any more. I'm married and I'm very happy being in my 40s." She also revealed earlier this year to the Mirror that she made the conscious decision to live a child-free lifestyle, thanks to some wise words from a family member. In the candid chat, she explained: "When I asked my grandma if she regretted anything in life, because that's what you ask octogenarians, she said - very honestly - that her biggest regret was having children." Kelly added: 'I wasn't expecting it, but she definitely said it! I think she felt that having children had taken up a lot of her life. I thought, 'What an absolutely honest, incredible answer,' and I think I needed to hear it. I was about 36 at the time and thinking, 'God, am I ever going to have children? If so, maybe I should just get on with it now?' Then I thought, 'Actually, I don't think I want them,' and hearing that somebody had regrets, and that I might not regret not having children, made me feel really happy about my choice." The media personality, who has been married to husband Jeremy for two years this month, said she's happy being a "dog mum", and likes having her freedom. She added: "As someone who's probably not going to have children, it's hard to think about regrets now, because what am I going to regret? "That I sold my house in LA to move to the UK? Well, there's nothing stopping me from moving back to LA. If I regret something, I'll just go back and change it!'
